Main issues, as the Inspector framed them
- The effect of the development on existing residents
What decided it
The significant material harm to the living conditions of existing residents through overbearing impact and loss of amenity outweighed the modest housing supply benefit, even in the absence of a five-year housing land supply.
The modest social benefit of added housing supply and limited economic benefits of construction employment were outweighed by the significant material harm to existing residents' living conditions, such that the adverse impacts significantly and demonstrably outweighed the benefits and the presumption in favour of sustainable development did not apply.
What the Inspector cited
- Development plan policies
- DS1DS3
- National Planning Policy Framework
- Paragraph 11
How the Inspector dealt with each one is set out in the app, in order: the development plan, national policy, housing land supply, other considerations and the planning balance, beside the letter.
